The present employer company fill in certain details like Account No, Regional Office, Sub Regional Office, Exempted and Trust details (if applicable) and forward Form-13(Rev) to the Commissioner EPF where the account is maintained. The EPFC shall pass an order and transfer the amount by DD /Cheque to the (1) Regional Provident Fund Commissioner of the present employer area OR (2) if it is an exempted establishment (these are establishments which maintain its own PF through a PF Trust) EPF is transferred to the Trust as per Payee's details filled in by the Present Employer in Form-13(Rev).
- The transfer is authorized by EPF Commissioner under a prescribed format – ANNEXURE-K (Revised).
